Miss Illinois School Visits

Contact Red Ribbon

The reigning Miss Illinois will be the guest of the Red Ribbon Program from October 24-26, 2019.

During her visit she will be available to present a program on character counts to area elementary schools. Annually, the Miss Illinois Scholarship Program, incorporates Character Counts into its “platform”. The Six Pillars of Character Counts that will be presented are Trustworthiness, Respect, Responsibility, Fairness, Caring, and Citizenship.

We are looking for schools to host her appearance through as assembly or classroom program. The Northern Illinois Red Ribbon Program has hosted the reigning Miss Illinois since 1991. During that time she has presented to schools in Belvidere, Freeport, South Beloit, and Rockford. Her presentation usually lasts about 25 minutes. Students will be engaged in a exciting, memorable, and educational program.

If your school would like to host Miss Illinois this year please contact the Red Ribbon Program. The majority of her cost is covered by Red Ribbon with a small left to each sponsoring school. Also, if you are a business, parent organization, or parent and would like to sponsor a school visit please call for details.

We can provide, from previous host principals, recommendations about the program.
